A salesman at a local truck dealership has been accused of theft.

A customer to the dealership located on Highway 27 told Chattooga County deputies on June 16th that she had purchased a Chevrolet Trailblazer in mid-April, and placed a down-payment of $1500 to a salesman. The salesman later told his employer that she had only paid $100 but promised the remainder of the $1500 the next week.

The customer then said in mid-May, the salesman came to her home to receive her monthly payment, where she paid $1000. The owner of the dealership said he knew nothing of that particular payment, but that the customer was behind a payment.

The customer  said about a week later, she returned to the dealership to find a car for her daughter. She found one she liked and put $2000 down for it; the payment was given to the same salesman. The owner mentioned again that he did not know about the payment, but the car had been sold.

The owner also said that the salesman had not been working for him for about two weeks, and he did not know his whereabouts. The woman had come in on the 16th to see about her daughter's car and make her monthly payment on the Chevrolet Trailblazer. She stated that she did not know that she was behind a payment, or that her daughter's car had been sold.
